First Day of School. Dude actually went to school a day earlier than Luca because sixth graders get a day in middle school all to themselves before the 7th and 8th graders join in. Dude wasn't excited for school to begin with, and having to go to school when his sister didn't have to was double insult to injury.
However, the day dawned bright and Dude woke resigned to his fate. Thankfully, this year, middle school doesn't start until 9:20 and he no longer has music class. I'm pretty sure they are the saving graces for this boy. He walked into that new big school so small, yet getting so old, that my mama heart had a bit of a hard time that day.
The next day it was Luca's turn. She, unlike her brother, had been looking forward to school, eager to wear her new clothes and meet her new class. And while her first day also dawned bright and beautiful she didn't wake as eager as she had been the night before. She walked into school with such fear and anxiety that I was nervous for her all the way home.
Thankfully when they got home from their respective first days both were in good spirits. Dude ended up having at least a couple friends in all of his classes and Luca stopped being nervous the moment she walked into class. Let's hope this is a great year, one of the few they get where they get to be in a school without the other. To new adventures!
